The Fourth of July brought fireworks, fun and an even busier Friday night for the Selma Police Department.

Disorderly conduct is making unreasonable noise, fighting, excess obscene language or gestures, refusing to disperse, blocking traffic, or disturbing any lawful gathering. It is a Class C misdemeanor in Alabama.
